Q: 1. Would this work with a USB mic between a Mac & a PC?

A: Yes, the ATEN US3342 could be used with a USB microphone, but switching will not be instant as each computer will take a moment to recognize and switch to the new audio device. You will also likely hear a popping sound through your headphones every time you switch. If applications like video games or streaming services are running when the audio device is switched, they may become unresponsive while the computer changes configuration.

Q: 2. Can this be used in the inverse way: 2 computers to one display?

A: No, it can't. You are looking for a Displayport KVM switch.

Q: 9. I have the Kondor Blue Dtap to 2 pin Lemo power cable for the RED Komodo, however, I don't trust DTAP given how it is unregulated. If I were to plug in that cable to the single regulated DTAP female port on this hub, 1) would it provide enough power for the Komodo? 2) would it provide additional protection since it is now regulated or am I missing something else? Thanks!

A: Yes, since the RED Komodo can handle 7 to 17V, a block battery that outputs within that range, accompanied by a D-tap to 2-pin LEMO power cable and this Kondor Blue Male D-Tap to 4-Port Female D-Tap Splitter Hub will power the RED Komodo. The Kondor Blue Male D-Tap to 4-Port Female D-Tap Splitter Hub (16") provides additional protection since it is regulated. You can also attach a voltmeter to keep an eye on your battery's voltage level or add a SafeTap connector.
